THALA Beach Lodge, a stunning luxury eco resort located 15 minutes south of Port Douglas, is fully eco accredited for ecotourism and consists of private deluxe timber bungalows built high on stilts and nestled in the forest canopy.

All accommodation has views either to the beachfront or the rainforest mountains.

Time spent relaxing on the timber decked verandahs is well rewarded by sightings of birds, butterflies and at night possums and sugar gliders.

Thala proudly boasts that it has achieved the highest accreditation of eco certification through its sustainable practice and environmental sensitivity.

Wildlife, native forests and natural beachscapes are protected and guests experience luxury in a private sanctuary sensitively designed to coexist with forests and abundant wildlife.
